Why Is Giuliani Hiding His Assets?

New York, Manhattan, USAWed Nov 06 2024
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is in the spotlight again. But this time, he's not making headlines for his role in politics. Two election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, are accusing him of hiding valuable items from them. These items include furniture, sports memorabilia, and even a 1980 Mercedes-Benz once owned by Hollywood star Lauren Bacall. It all started after Giuliani defamed Freeman and Moss following the 2020 election. A judge ordered him to pay them nearly $150 million. But when they went to collect their share of his assets, they found his $6 million Manhattan apartment nearly empty. His lawyers said the items were moved to a storage facility on Long Island, but Freeman and Moss' team is struggling to access them. Giuliani's team says he can't attend the court hearing this week because he has a live radio show. But the judge isn't buying it. Giuliani's show is on a platform started by the CEO of MyPillow, Mike Lindell, and he's been using the old Mercedes to run errands, like voting in Florida. This is happening even though he should have handed over the car to Freeman and Moss a week ago. Giuliani's spokesperson said they're working on the paperwork to transfer the car's title. But Freeman and Moss' team isn't happy. They're also trying to take control of Giuliani's Palm Beach condo and his Yankees World Series rings. It's a complicated situation, and the court case continues.
